Newsmakers: A250

In less than a month America celebrates its 250th anniversary. And that deserves something more than just fireworks, parades, or hotdogs. That's why The Assembly and America's Future are hosting a conversation to explore what it means to be an American and North Carolinian today, why our founding is still relevant, and how we should pass on those lessons to a rising generation. Leaders from civics, education, and law will discuss how we’re introducing young people to American history, ideals, and the never-ending debate over making those ideals real. And in a state that takes pride in being "first in freedom", how to help set a foundation for the next 250 years.
